Vala (Claudia Black) is back. Kind of. As we dive into the penultimate episode of season nine. Crusade was written by Robert C. Cooper (he also directed it) and it first aired on 3 March, 2006. Remember the stones that allowed Daniel (Michael Shanks) and Vala to inhabit bodies in the galaxy that the Ori…

Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars (2004) – Episode 2
This is it. The final ninety minutes of Farscape. Is it all going to pay off? Am I going to be happy with how it all ends? Airing on 18 October, 2004, the night after the first part, making it a two night event. Part two of The Peacekeeper Wars was written by series creator…
Farscape (2003) – A Constellation of Doubt, and Prayer
David Kemper delivers the very entertaining A Constellation of Doubt which first aired on 10 February, 2003. We get a look at Alien Visitation, hosted by R. Wilson Munroe (Nick Tate!), a docu-show that Moya has intercepted. All while Crichton (Ben Browder) tries to figure who, what or where the Katratzi is. If they can…
Stargate SG-1 (2005) – Avalon: Part 1, and Part 2
Season nine got underway with Avalon: Part 1 on 15 July, 2005. It was written by Robert C. Cooper with excerpts written by Cooper and Brad Wright. And it is not the show it was at the end of the last season. Season nine features some big changes for the series. Sure we had Jonas…
Farscape (2002) – Promises, and Natural Election
Crichton (Ben Browder) make it home to Moya! And who else is aboard her? Aeryn (Claudia Black)! Yay, right? Nope, she’s suffering from heat delirium, kept alive by a cooling suit. And who do we know that knows everything about coolant suits? Scorpius (Wayne Pygram). The bastard is still alive. Written by Richard Manning, this…
Farscape (2002) – Crichton Kicks, and What Was Lost: Part 1 – Sacrifice
The fourth and final season of Farscape (with a new credit sequence, and presented in widescreen) got underway on 7 June, 2002. It was written by David Kemper. Last time we saw Crichton (Ben Browder) he was marooned in space, low on fuel. Moya had been pulled away by a wormhole, Aeryn (Claudia Black) has…
Farscape (2002) – Into the Lion’s Den: Part 2 – Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, and Dog with Two Bones
The penultimate episode of season three picks up where the last episode ended. Scorpius (Wayne Pygram) is threatening Crichton (Ben Browder) with the destruction of Earth, and the threat of the Scarrans achieving wormhole tech hangs over everything. What is Moya’s crew going to do? Into the Lion’s Den: Part 2 – Wolf in Sheep’s…
Star Trek: Dark Victory (1999) – William Shatner with Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens
Shatner continues his mirror universe trilogy, with Dark Victory. It seems not only has Captain James T. Kirk survived into the 24th century, so has his mirror universe counterpart, Emperor Tiberius. And they are on a collision course. Wrapping up the cliffhanger of the previous book, Picard and his crew are reunited, and Kirk and…
Now You See Me 2 (2016) – Jon M. Chu
The sequel to the magical heist film, Now You See Me, suffers from a lot of faults which directly impact its enjoyment. First up, Isla Fisher didn’t return due to her pregnancy, which required the introduction of a new character, Lula, played enjoyably by Lizzy Caplan. Caplan is solid, and brings a nice comedic element…
Kuffs (1992) – Bruce A. Evans
Kuffs was tailor-made for Christian Slater. Writer/director Bruce A. Evans alongside Raynold Gideon wrote the script with Slater in mind, and he plays the role perfectly in this action-comedy with constant fourth wall breaks. It’s like if Ferris Bueller became a cop. George Kuffs (Slater) is 21 and can’t figure his life out. He ditches…
